Some of the charities, international companies, private groups, clubs and societies who love a Charity Challenge include:
Our Methodology
We believe that over arching wellbeing is driven by four core factors. Your physical wellbeing, emotional wellbeing, mental wellbeing and what some might call your spiritual wellbeing, but we consider your purpose or meaning.
Physical Wellbeing: This is driven by things like sleep, recovery, nutrition and exercise.
Emotional Wellbeing: These are your feelings, of which there are thousands; fear, anxiety, jealousy, pain, anger, joy, happiness, contentment.
Mental Wellbeing: This is your cognitive ability; the ability to concentrate, to look at some data and make a good judgment, your ability to focus on something.
Purpose/Meaning: This is everything that makes you feel that you have some fulfillment in life. That yearning as a human being to have a purpose or some meaning as to who you are.
If you’re not physically healthy, that will impact how you feel, and if your feelings are being challenged, that will impact your cognitive ability, your mental health and you may not even be able to consider a sense of purpose or meaning. So, everything we do to support and educate your people, is centered around their harnessing these principles.
